Isolates of classic enteropathogenic Escherichia coli O:128 that had been implicated in an outbreak of diarrhea in a hospital nursery were found to produce heat-stable enterotoxin after storage for six years. This finding indicated that enteropathogenicity and the ability to produce enterotoxin may coincide in E. coli, and further study of enteropathogenic strains that produce enterotoxin may help in elucidation of the relationship between enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic E. coli.
在一家医院托儿所的腹泻暴发中涉及的经典肠致病性大肠杆菌O:128菌株，在储存六年之后被发现可产生热稳定肠毒素。这一发现表明，在大肠杆菌中肠致病性和产生肠毒素的能力可能同时存在，对产生肠毒素的肠致病菌株进行进一步研究可能有助于阐明肠致病性大肠杆菌和产肠毒素大肠杆菌之间的关系。
